The schedule for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Monday was... Wake up at 7:30-ish am. Eat Breakfast at 8:00am. Go to working outside in over hundred degree weather, moving brick, and rock, and iron, from one place to another, and doing some landscaping, from 9:00am to 11:30am. Eat Lunch at 12:00 noon. Then at 1:00pm, the kids come from their home to the mission for day camp. Day Camp Schedule We register the kids, give name tags and send them to their teams, which are set for them. (green, blue, yellow, or red) Then all the teams go to the cafeteria, where they sing, memorize the verse of the week, show some team spirit, do a cheer, watch a movie. At 2:00pm the kids have lunch. (which is regular time in Mexico to have lunch) Then at 2:35pm two of the teams go and play soccer and play in the pool, while the other two teams would go do crafts. At 2:55pm the teams would switch. At 3:15pm the kids would change into a new set of clothes if they were wet from swimming, and go have a snack as the team leaders were calling out for 4 kids from each team (2 girls and 2 boys) to win a prize for something they did that day. Then after they were done eating and all the prizes were handed out the kids would go home After Day Camp After day camp we ate dinner at 5:00pm and had some free time after that. We had our own worship time in the cafeteria which lasted a little over an hour, and then had more free time until we had to be in our room at 10:30pm or so. If you noticed in the second sentence of this post, I left out Sunday. That’s because it was different. The times we ate were about the same, but what we did was different. We attended a Spanish speaking baptist church for one hour, and then we went to the building next door and held a carnival. Now I went to this thinking we would only have a few games, and the kids would have some fun playing around. My Grandma proved me wrong; she had more games planned than I thought. The stuffed animals and toys that were donated to us were prizes for the kids who won the game or even got close to winning. I couldn’t count how many toys we had to give out. Not only did the kids have a blast, but the parents and adults did too. I thank all the people that donated to our cause and I wish that you all could have been there to see over 40 kids trying to walk away when it was over, with more toys than they could carry. Not one left with nothing; in fact not one left with fewer than 3 or 4 toys. The lady that lived at the mission was there, and when we went back to the mission, she talked with us over dinner, and said the kids thought it was “Christmas in July;” she also said that nothing like this was ever done before in that church, and that those kids walked away with more than they ever got on Christmas Day. Thank the Lord for the opportunity to go and do something like that. The Mission trip was an awesome experience, and I can’t wait to go back next year and see how those kids changed and do it all over again.
